First Firing

Tracy is angry - a holiday in Fiji has had to be cancelled because her mother, Chris, has been asked to speak at a national conference on childcare. She storms out of the house and doesn't come home that night. When she is picked up by the police in a bar, her Aunt Ruth, a potter, is contacted.

Landing Delayed

Synopsis:
A chance encounter at an airport, a delayed flight, and two middle-aged people strike up a conversation about their grown children who will soon clear customs. It seems as if their attitudes to race and immigration are very different, but they have more in common than they realise.
